This study investigates an experimental method for determining the modulus of elasticity of prestressed concrete prisms and evaluates its consistency with the ACI 318 Code provisions. Four self-compacting concrete (SCC) prestressed prisms with dimensions of 100 \u00d7 100 \u00d7 1000 mm were cast using Grade 60 concrete and pre-tensioned steel wires of 1.5 mm diameter. After 28 days of moist curing, flexural tests were conducted, and the modulus of elasticity was calculated from the linear elastic portion of the load\u2013deflection response. The experimentally obtained modulus values ranged from 22 to 36 GPa, showing good agreement with the values predicted by the ACI 318 empirical equation. The results demonstrate that the proposed deflection-based method provides a reliable alternative approach for estimating the modulus of elasticity of prestressed concrete members. This method shows promising potential for further refinement and application in prestressed concrete analysis and design.<\/p><p style='text-align:left; direction:ltr;'><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>

is defined as the application of compressive stresses to concrete members. Those zones of the member ultimately required to carry tensile stresses under working load conditions are given an initial compressive stress before the application of working loads so that the tensile stresses developed by these working loads are balanced by induced compressive strength. Prestressed can be applied in two ways Pre-tensioning or Post-tensioning. Due to the development of prestressing technology and material of prestressed concrete, prestressed concrete has been widely used in various type of construction such as bridges, water tank, flyover and buildings. There are various advantages of prestressed concrete which encourage the utilization of prestressed concrete in the construction projects. The high quality of prestressed concrete is one of the advantages of prestressed concrete. Usually, the concrete used to produce the prestressed concrete products is high strength concrete. The high quality control of prestressed concrete in factory minimizes the defects in the products. The high quality of prestressed concrete allowed the concrete to have longer life span. (Hurst, 2002).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The present state of development in the field of prestressed concrete is due to the continuous research done by engineers and scientists in this field during the last 90 years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1886, Jackson of San Francisco applied for a patent for construction of artificial stone and concrete pavements, in which prestresed was introduced by tensioning the reinforcing rods set in sleeves. During of Germany manufactured slabs and small beams in 1888. Using embedded tensioned wires in concrete to avoid cracks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The idea of prestressing to counteract the stresses due to loads was first put forward by the Austrian engineer Mandl in 1896. M. Koenen, of Germany, further developed the subject by reporting, in 1907, on the losses of prestress due to elastic shortening of concrete. The importance of losses in prestressing due to shrinkage of concrete was first recognized by Steiner in the United States around 1908. In 1923, Emperger of Vienna developed a method for making wire-bound reinforced concrete pipes by binding high-tensile steel wires on pipes at stresses ranging from 160 to 800 N\/mm2.The use of unbounded tendons was first demonstrated by Discharger, in 1928, in the construction of a major bridge of the deep-girder type, in which prestressing wires were placed inside the girder without any bond. Losses of prestress were compensated by the subsequent pre-tensioning of the wires. Based on the exhaustive studies of prop ties of concrete and steel, Freyssinet demonstrated, in 1928, the advantages of using high-strength steel and concrete to account for the various losses of prestress due to creep and shrinkage of concrete. The development of vibration techniques for the production of high-strength concrete and the invention of the double-acting jack for stressing high-tensile steel wiresare considered to be the most significant contributions made by Freyssinet between1928 and 1933.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The use of prestressed Concrete spread rapidly from 1935 onwards and many longspan bridges were constructed between 1945 and 1950 in Europe and the United States.During the last 25 years, prestressed concrete has been widely used for the construction of long-span bridges, industrial shell roofs, marine structures, nuclear pressurevessels, water-retaining structures, transmission poles, railway sleepers and a host ofother structures. In the words of Guyon There are probably no structural problem to which prestressed concrete cannot provide a solution, and often a revolutionary one. Prestressed concrete is more than \u00e1 technique; it is a general principle. (Nilson 1987).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Problem statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Concrete, by nature, is strong in compression but weak in tension, which often leads to cracking and serviceability issues under flexural loading. To overcome this limitation, prestressing techniques are introduced, whereby internal stresses are deliberately applied to counteract external loads. A prestressed concrete prism represents a fundamental structural element used in research and laboratory testing to study the effects of prestressing on behavior, strength, and deflection.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, before analyzing or testing such members, it is essential to establish a clear definition and understanding of what a prestressed concrete prism is, its geometry, characteristics, and its role in simulating prestressed concrete elements. This provides the conceptual foundation for experimental and analytical work related to prestressed structures.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Objective<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">To determine the modulus elasticity of prestressed concrete prism with deflection method and compared with ACI 318 Code.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Scope of Study<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The aim of this study the determination of the modulus elasticity and the load deflection behavior of particle prestressed concrete prism. This discusses several tests that were conducted in achieving the objectives of the study this research shall prepare the 4 samples from prism each of 4 samples of one group have the same pre-tension wire and In this research shall work with the test after 28 days, at the same duration will apply for another test as compressive stress test on cup sample Based on the results can determine the modulus elasticity from deflection behavior in the prestressed concert prism, But before that have to test for the tensile strength of the wire strand first.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Review of prestressed concrete<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reinforced concrete is the most widely used structural material of the 20-century. Because the tensile strength of concrete is low, steel bars are embedded in the concrete to carry all internal tensile forces. Tensile forces may be caused by imposed loads or deformations, or by load-independent effects such as temperature changes or shrinkage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Consider the simple reinforced concrete beam shown in Figure 2.l. The external loads cause tension in the bottom fibers which may lead to cracking, as shown. Practical reinforced concrete beams are usually cracked under the day-to-day service loads. On a cracked cross section, the applied moment is resisted compression in the concrete above the crack and tension in the bonded reinforces steel. Although the steel reinforcement provides the cracked concrete beam with flexural strength, it does not prevent cracking and does not prevent the loss of stiffness caused by cracking. Crack widths are approximately proportional to the strain, and hence stress in the reinforcement. Steel stresses must therefore be limited to some appropriately low value in order to avoid excessively wide cracks similarly large steel strain is the result of large curvature, which in turn associated with large deflection. There is little benefit to be gained therefore by using higher strength steel or concrete, since in order to satisfy serviceability requirements, the increased strain capacity afforded by higher strength steel cannot be utilized.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"141\" class=\"wp-image-15831\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hnjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/c-users-user-desktop-index-jpg.jpeg\" alt=\"C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\index.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hnjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/c-users-user-desktop-index-jpg.jpeg 256w, https:\/\/www.hnjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/c-users-user-desktop-index-jpg-18x10.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/www.hnjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/c-users-user-desktop-index-jpg-135x75.jpeg 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Figure 2.1: reinforced concrete beam.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Composition of concrete<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Concrete is a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates. It may also contain one or more chemical admixtures. Within hours of mixing and placing concrete sets and begins to develop strength and stiffness as a result of chemical reactions between the cement and water. These reactions are known as hydration. Calcium silicates in the cement react with water to produce calcium silicate hydrate and calcium hydroxide. The resultant alkalinity of the concrete helps to provide corrosion protection for the reinforcement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The relative proportions of cement, water, and aggregates may vary hay vary considerably depending on the chemical properties of each component the desired properties of the Concrete. A typical mix used for stressed concrete by Weight might be coarse aggregate 44% fine aggregate 31%, cement 18%, and water 7% In order to alter and improve the properties of concrete, other cement materials may be used to replace part of the Portland cement, e.g.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fly ash, natural, blast furnace slag, and condensed silica fume. The use of chemical admixtures to improve one or more properties of the concrete is now commonplace. In recent years high-strength concretes with low water-to-cement ratios have been made more workable by the inclusion of super plasticizers in the mix. These polymers greatly improve the flow of the wet concrete and allow very high-strength low-permeability concrete to be used with conventional construction techniques.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Strength of Concrete<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In structural design, the quality of concrete is usually controlled by the specification of minimum characteristic compressive strength at 28 days. The characteristic strength is the stress which is exceeded by 95% of the uniaxial compressive strength measurements taken from standard compression tests. Such tests are most often performed 150 mm concrete cubes (in Europe and the UK) on and on 150 mm diameter by long concrete cylinders (in North America and Australia). Because the restraining effect at the loading surfaces is greater for the<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">cube than for the longer cylinder, strength measurements taken from cubes are higher than those taken from cylinders.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The forces imposed on a prestressed concrete section are relatively large and the use of high-strength concrete keeps section dimensions to a minimum. High strength concrete also has obvious advantages in the anchorage zone of post tensioned members where bearing stresses are large and in pre-tensioned members where a higher bond strength better facilitates the transfer of pre-stress. As the compressive strength of concrete increases, so too does the tensile strength. The use of higher strength concrete may therefore delay (or even prevent) the onset of cracking in a member. (Gilbert &amp; Mickleborough 1990)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">High-strength concrete is considerably stiffer than low-strength concrete.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The elastic modulus is higher and elastic deformations due to both the priestess and the external loads lower. In addition, high-strength concrete generally creeps less are than low-strength concrete. This results in smaller losses of pre-stress and smaller long-term deformations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"263\" class=\"wp-image-15832\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hnjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/word-image-15822-2.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hnjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/word-image-15822-2.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/www.hnjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/word-image-15822-2-11x12.jpeg 11w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/> Figure 2.4: Effect of strength on the compressive stress-strain curve.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The modulus of elasticity of concrete is important, not only in estimating deflections of pre-stressed concrete members but also because some of the losses of priestess force are influenced by it. From the stress-strain curve of concrete shown in Figure 2.5. The initial slope of the tangent to the curve is defined as the initial tangent modulus, and it is also possible to construct a tangent modulus at point of the any curve. The slope of the straight line that connects the origin to a given stress at about 0.4(fc) determines the secant modules of elasticity of concrete. This value, termed in design calculation the modulus of elasticity satisfies the practice assumption that strains occurring during loading can be considered basically elastic or completely recoverable on unloading, and that any subsequent strain due to the load is regarded as creep.

The definition of elastic modulus, whether tangential or secant modulus, also affects the determination of elastic modulus. For design and analysis in Prestressed and reinforced concrete, the initial slope of the approximately straight, or elastic, portion of the stress-strain curve is used as the modulus of elasticity of the concrete. This is known as the secant modulus .Several studies have been conducted to investigate the modulus of elasticity of high strength concrete.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ACI Committee 363 report on high strength concrete summarizes the results of some of these studies and offers a recommendation for the prediction of modulus of elasticity for high strength concrete. The recommended prediction for modulus of elasticity is based on the work of \u201cCarrasquillo, Nilson,\u201d and Slate. They found that for concretes with compressive strengths greater than 41 MPa, the ACI 318-77 and AASHTO expression for modulus of elasticity, shown in (Eq. 2.2), tended to overestimate the measured values for modulus of elasticity. (Eq. 2.2) is also used in the latest editions of the AASHTO Specifications and ACI 318 Codes. They also found that the modulus of elasticity measurements were quite dependent on the type of aggregate used in the concrete. The recommended expression for modulus of elasticity for concrete with compressive strengths greater than 41 MPa is shown in (Eq. 2.3.) This equation was based on test data obtained from gravel and crushed limestone concrete specimens and on a dry unit weight of 2320 kg\/m3.
